CITIZENS OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Alter somewhat careful examination
OF Johnaon's Universal Cyclopndis, I
find that it is very full and complete on
such subjects as are of special interest TO
Americana. The engravings are numerous
and clear, the biographical references COM
pact, the articles on scientific subjects
particularly those relating to mechanics,
astronomy, chemistry and phyaics--are
concise, yet ample, ably written and up to
the latest discovery and phase Of thought
on these important topics. The paper and
binding are good, the type clear, and the
mechanical makeup Of the work excellent,
The work is ouch as we can confidently
recommend. CONRAD a. SIZE,

A late magazine puts in a plea for
the use Of both hands. The left arm

and usefulness being shared equally

ever, these components have often be.
come shrunken, if not almost palsied.

have received. This defect, in extreme
cases, amounts to lopsidedness 90
painfully apparent a. to battle con.
ceslnent even by skillful padding.
Man has, then, by carelessnees, indif.
ference, or ignorance, reached a state
OF deformity which he will not brook in
domestic animals. There are enough
instances of men and women overcom.
ing the awkwardness and weakness OF
their left arms and hands to encour-
age more universal attempt in this
direction. When the reform of oven.

fVDdaIR Assails Gladstone.

sriticisnr Of the course Of Gladstone and
Che Gladstonian party, in which he pro-
pounds several eonundrums, furnishing
the answers thereto.
s'In how many instances" he asks,
"have the honest individual opinions AMI
convictions OF the followers of Gladstone
been perverted by their leader? In how
many cases has this prince of sophists dis
lodged truth by untruth and diverted
Observation-Disclosures by double dealing?
His satellites deserve the contempt Of
every honest man. Popery never exhibit
ed subserviency as ignoble or prostration

by the Liberal Home Rulers who belle

Railroad Building in the Northwest.

The Northwestern Railroader has the
following: During the six weeks of its ex-
istence the n ,rthwestern Railroader has
had to record the incorporation Of sixteen
new railroad companies III six of the North
western states and territories, as well as
the commencement of work on thirteen
new branches or extensions OF existing
roads. Work is also now in progress
what may be called unfinished business,
or lines lett uncompleted last year, at
some forty different points in the North
west proper; while in the state of Minneso

ones mentioned above) on which prelim-
mary arrangements are progressing favor

business" lines it is expected that 600
miles OF new track will be laid before fall;
that on another the cost ofexplcsives for
blasting work alone is estimated to amount
to $500, 900. and that on 4 third are to be

40 in other countries. labor and capital
both have their rights, and these rights

The rights Of labor should be protected.
The holy father has not approved OF the
Knights OF Labor. he has only not con-
demned them. There is a vast difference
between not condemning and approving.
When the church approves of a society she
IN some sense stands as sponsor for that

1t depends upon themselves whether the
church ever condemns the knights or not
IN protecting their rights they must not
infringe ON the freedom OF labor. When
they strike they must not by force induce

The world now looks to America for the

Latherans and the KNIGHTS.

The Missouri synod the principal COIL
vocation OF the Lutheran clergymen in
the United States, concluded its triennial
meeting ut Vineennes, Ind., by considering
what should be the attitude OF the Luther
an church toward the knights of Labor
The committed last year on that subject
reported:
That they were unable yet to como to ;s
final decision; that they recognize that
capitalists, in some instances Cypress the
poor men, and they, therefore, see the
necessity OF resisting such cncoachments.
First-They do not approve the means re-
sorted to by the lights OF Labor in bat
thing against that oppression. Second
They condemn the boycott as a weapon Of
resistance by the Knights OF Labor. Third.
they denounce the practice of the Knights
OF Labor who prevent non-union men from
taking the place OF strikers, and who deny
their own members the privilege of return
ing to work at will. Fourth, they unequivo-
cally condemn the manner in which strikes
are conducted.
After the committee report had been
read the synod resolved to warn the mem
bers of the German Lutheran church
against joining. The next synod will be
held at Milwaukee in 1890. Up~ ard Of
500 delegates from every state in the Tn
ion were present.
